Note(s):

*In addition to the general university requirements of at least a “C” (2.0) average for graduation, engineering students must earn at least a “C” in those courses designated with an asterisk (*) and must also maintain at least a “C” average in the Core Curriculum Mathematics, Natural Sciences, and the major requirements courses. Class attendance is mandatory in all civil and environmental engineering courses. Civil/environmental engineering students who need to repeat courses to meet the minimum grade-point average requirement set by the university or the college are allowed to repeat only those courses in which they received a grade lower than a “C” (2.0).

It is the policy of the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering not to accept transfer courses from outside the NSHE system with grades lower than a “C”.
